Using the FLV Flash Fullscreen Video Player (open source) with Wozwa Media Pro

Wowza Streaming Engine

Hi,

After struggling with the jw player for quite a while, there’s a very fast way to get the flv player running

source for player: http://www.video-flash.de/flv-flash-fullscreen-video-player/

  1. Install the live and the simplevideostreaming application in wowza (read the manual :slight_smile: )

  2. feed some data into wowza (I used On2 Flix Live)

  3. get the flv player, unzip the minimal files to a webserver (read the start.html), for testing I just copied the whole flvplayer folder

  4. use the flashvideoplayer.html page: add params to the url such as

http://[serverip]/flashvideoplayer.html?video=rtmp://[rtmpserver]/simplevideostreaming/_definst_/Extremists

for a video and simply add &isLive=true for a livestream:

http://[serverip]/flashvideoplayer.html?video=rtmp://[rtmpserver]/live/_definst_/myStream&isLive=true

This should get you started, there are of course other ways to play a video/stream

Hi

has anybody used this player with SecureURLParams

how can I tell the Player the doConnect parameter?

I think it works as a querystring in the netstream.connection

netconnection.connect(“rtmp://ip/app?doConnect=123”);

But that’s hard to hide, so it is better to use SecureToken for the player instead. You can take out the doConnect property and put in SecureToken.

Use this line:

playervars.video = ‘rtmp://IP/livevideo/definst/Stream’;

Try this:

playervars.video = ‘rtmp://IP/livevideo/definst/Stream?doConnect=1234’;

Or this maybe:

playervars.video = ‘rtmp://IP/livevideo/definst?doConnect=1234/Stream’;
